How To Paint A Watercolour Daffodil
Flowers and Foliage Episode 46: How To Paint A Watercolour Daffodil
I can't believe this is the first Daffodil I've painted as a watercolour tutor. They are so beloved and I really hope you enjoy my take on a Cyclamineus Daffodil. (yellow petals and orange trumpet)

You are the best and most thorough watercolor teacher on the web. I've had it on my bucket list to get to be a somewhat adequate painter of watercolor flowers, and this year+ of quarantine, and being in the house seems the time. This one is the second of yours I've watched. Thank you for being so thorough! And your personality and lovely voice and accent just make it all more enjoyable. Thank you!
Wow Gale this is such a lovely thing to say, I really appreciate you saying it.
Best teaching point was what you taught about the circles. In a hundred or so tutorials I never heard that before. Thank you so very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial. I've just finished mine and quite happy with it. I've framed it to give my mum on Mother's Day. When I was little my Dad would take my brothers and I to buy daffodils for her on Mother's Day then we'd go home to make her breakfast in bed. (back when one bunch was 10 pence!). I live overseas and haven't seen her for a few years so I hope this brings back some memories for her and makes her smile.
Ah what a lovely memory
I am SOOO very glad I searched here on CZcams for help in drawing/ painting daffodils in watercolor!! Your tutorial here is what I SOOO desperately needed, Harriet. I took two pages of notes. Tomorrow, when I get home from tests and Dr appt, I am going to draw and paint daffodils. I will need a good relaxing time after the hours at the hospital.
Thank you so very much for this, Harriet.
Hi Harriet I have just painted these again and as a beginner I can definitely see improvement. I love your flowers, thank you
Wonderful!
New to watercolours and a clear tutorial- very calm and relaxing with no annoying background music.
Awesome, thank you!
I learned how do layering with this video. I learned how draw daffodils and paint the trumpet. Also I learned how to blend the greens for the stems of the flowers. I felt like I took a good class. It's the second time I watched it. I will watch again as I paint the flowers. It's so nice to just stop n start and keep doing as you are. Hoping mine are half as lovely as yours. Thank you Harriet so much for the time and effort you put into your tutorials. Who is the person behind the camera? Good job to whomever.
Ah thank you so much Marlene. The person behind the camera is my husband, Ant. He also edits the videos!
I remember violets from my childhood. We'd pick them as a neighborhood woman, Sally, took a bunch of us on a walk.
There were purple ones, white ones, and mixed up purple-white ones. 😊
this is beautiful. I am a beginner watercolour artist and loved that you were left handed. (unless my screen is screwed up lol!) but as a new painter and left hander it was easier to understand the strokes and how you held your hand. I am constantly getting the side of my hand in my work. Thank you again lovely. - from Canada but born in UK.
I am definitely left handed! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful daffodils, the best daffodil tutorial I've seen! . 😊🌾
Wow, thank you!
I just love this. The transparency of the flowers is just superb. I would never think it was so easy to paint the trumpets. Well you made it LOOK easy. Lol. They are just gorgeous. Thank you so much
A brilliant demonstration.
Every year I struggle with trying to
Paint daffodils in watercolour without
Success. I will try again this year and
Watch this several times. You do have some
Very fine brushes I notice.
Thank you
Thanks Beryl, yes I always list what brushes I’ve used in the episode notes
Wonderful reminder of Spring to come. 💕
Yes indeed!
Such beautiful daffodils. Your teaching of the details such as shading and how to show depth is very helpful! I always look forward to your next video.
Thanks so much 😊
I am new to watching your tutorials, but I really love that you make the flowers very realistic and yet not so detailed to make me feel overwhelmed. Thank you, Harriet. These are lovely.
You’re welcome 😊
This is lovely. It’s a flower I’ve never got quite right so I’ll definitely be trying this.
I think it’s harder than it looks. That might be why it’s taken so long for me to do a tutorial!
The daffodil was adopted in 1919 as the official flower of Brantford, Ontario, where I live and they have planted hundreds of them in different locations around the city .... it’s so lovely to walk or drive around and see them
Wow thank you Diane!
Harriet you have a fantastic way of teaching. You make even the very inexperienced like me think I'm going to have a go. Loved doing this daffodil along with you. Thank you xx
Thanks so much 😊
Really enjoyed watching you paint these daffodils especially explaining the colours used and how you used the colours and brushes etc. Oh your painting is beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀
You provide amazing and helpful tutorials! Your final artwork is absolutely lovely! Thank you!
Thanks Donna!
Delicate & beautiful,just as Mother Nature intended.💛
Yes indeed!
They do look fantastic!💛Beautifully loose and that layering to create just the right amount of definition💫So in love with your controlled loose painting style💛The filming is so great and clear, makes it so easy to see everything in detail, thank you Harriet for another fabulous tutorial!
Thanks so much 😊
Hi lovely. Thank you so much on how you start off drawing the lovely Daffodil. Beautiful so much movement 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks I’m getting better I’ve worked in oil’s and I love them but wanted to work with watercolor and I really like it and your teaching me but I must have the set of brushes that you are using most of mine can be used but they don’t have the rounded with point brushes I need for the water. I m understanding the use of water daily so thank you 😊 again for teaching me how. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks so much Sharon!
Lovely! I am starting with one, this morning my husband told me daffodils are his favorite flower, and I also decided to pick one flower to master, so this will be it. Thank you Harriet!!!
Wonderful!
What a lovely start to the day to see your lovely painting demonstration.Thank you
My pleasure 😊
I love these daffodils! You are an excellent tutor!
Thanks so much!
I just stumbled into your tutorials, and have tried the tulips, and today, the daffodils. Not as pretty as yours, but I learned a lot about adding details. Crocus are next. I think I am hooked. Thank you for your inspirational style.
So glad my tutorials have been helpful!
Daffodils are one of my favorite spring flowers. I have them all around my house! These are beautiful, can’t wait to start painting these!
Wonderful! They're so cheerful aren't they
Thank you so much for that lovely Spring painting lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 🌻🌷🌺
Thanks Yvonne!
I love daffodils and needed this today as we are having a winter storm here in Michigan and are in the process of getting 8-10 inches of snow. I will be painting these later. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial!
Sounds great!
I am learning watercolor and just discovered you on you tube...I just binged watched five videos and am anxious to try your tutorials! Thinking I will start with the rose...I have made them before, but your two videos have improved my thoughts and approach without even painting them yet! Thank you!
Ah that’s wonderful Cheryl, I’m so glad you found me!
The drawing in the video look way much nicer and realistic than on the thumbnail..subscribed
Well thumbnails are always small and hard to see, thanks for watching!
After I looked at your flower paintings, I just wondered myself where are the daffodils.
They are absolutely one of my favourites. But know you have painted them I do think they are not the easiest.
I have often done that mistake with the paint brush having a much too bigger one and my stems get too thick. Thanks for that. And they are fast better that the real ones outdoors. You are such a good painter and a good teacher it's so calming to hear you. Bye
Glad you like them!
So delicate and fresh looking! Mine have started blooming! these are beautiful!
Wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful work! I enjoy the patience you put into your painting.😊
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful xxx
Thanks!
Super duper tutorial. I will be having a go tomorrow when my husband goes to work on a late shift. Can’t wait to delve in ☺️
Good luck!!

Love the daffodils Hariet
Thanks Barbara
I adore daffodils. They are one of my very favorites. And I agree we tend to have a more special connection with the wilder versions of the flowers. At least I do. It was the same with the irises too. Thank you for yet another fabulous video
I totally agree!
Absolutely gorgeous, I love daffodils, I'm in the USA, I have these bulbs planted ALL over my yard, they come in TONS of beautiful colors!
This tutorial is the best I've seen, it's very realistic Harriet!
I've got to get your book!
Ah thank you so much Linda! My book, New Botanical Painting has a USA version called ‘painting watercolor botanicals’. Same book just Americanised spellings x
Thank you so much, your daffodils are beautiful ! I love your floral videos with both freshness and precision.
Thanks so much Sophie
Simply gorgeous! I recieved your book today. I have been reading it today, and hope to try out some of your teachings tomorrow. It's a very lovely book and your teaching style is quite clear and to the point. This is the style of painting I have been craving to learn. Thank you Harriet for being accessible to us that want to learn from your skills. You are very much admired and appreciated.
Thank you so much Sharon, I am truly flattered. I really hope you enjoy it!
You're so good. This is beautiful
Thank you so much!!
I’m new to painting and would love to be able to achieve this kind of art work someday. What an amazing talent you have. Watching your video is so relaxing. Thank you for sharing part of your day.
Thank you very much!
You are amazing, as an artist and as a teacher
Thank you so much

You are so welcome!
Just lovely Harriet!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
So beautiful 👌🏼
Thank you!
You do such beautiful painting, Harriet, and are an inspiration. Cheery flowers for these cloudy days! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for such clear instructions. I have painted this as a birthday card after a couple of practice efforts.
Wonderful!
Lovely! If you do your initial drawing with a watercolor pencil in the same approximate color that you’re going to use, you won’t see your pencil lines!
So true!
Great tip!
thanks!
I bought some watercolour graphite pencils for sketching out and have found that they don’t blend into the painting very well. It’s a bit disappointing but now I’ll try my coloured watercolour pencils to sketch out. Great tip. Thank you.
Can’t see pencil draft!
What a lovely helpful tutorial, thank you. Daffodils are such cheerful flowers, just what we all need xx
So nice of you
So pretty! Can't wait to try it.
Hope you like it!

so lovely flowers. I live in the middle of Sweden and vi have just about a half meter of snow right now so we have to wait for those daffodils to be shown here... But I'm waiting :-)
Oh wow! I would love a bit of snow! But I'm also grateful for the slow emergence of Spring we're starting to see here.
You make it look so easy, your very talented

Thanks so much
Thank you. Your chanel just popped up on my feed. Just subscribed too, such a beautiful painting and I love it even more as I'm Welsh. Thank you 😊.
Thanks for subbing! I'm half welsh!
😄 Diolch yn fawr for the reply. I'm looking forward to catching up on your video's. I started watercolour last year during my maternity leave. Since returning to work in the NHS I found it difficult to fit this lovely hobby into my days. Thanks for your inspiration. Wishing you all the best 💫
Yes, I really enjoyed that!
Ah thank you Marie!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Just a question. I thought painting over pencil lines ‘sets’ it and can not be removed. How do you manage to do remove them?
Thank you for this beautiful daffodils tutorial ,painting yellow flowers is so difficult,mine always end up looking heavy but I’ll try your approach .
Thanks Maureen, I hope my tutorial helps!
Absolutely beautiful, I haven't tried them yet but looking forward to having a go. Thank you xx
Have fun!
.
Just beautiful.
Thank you Carol!
Beautiful and delicate. I’ve seen so many that are far too ”heavy” and so lose that lightness of being and nodding gaiety so typical of this cheerful flower.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely breathtaking tutorial, cant wait to watch all the others. Thankyou so much. x
Thanks so much Pauline! 😊
Wonderful! I’ve been wanting to know how to paint daffodils and your tutorial is perfect ... my version may not be but it will be fun trying .... thank you!
